VA SC judges are elected by legislature (now Dem controlled).

They serve for 12 year terms. The term of one rated by Ballotpedia as “mild Republican” will end Jan. 2027. The term of a judge rated “strong Republican” will end March of 2028. So while that won’t help with the 2026 midterms, it could make a difference for 2028 election (and for other cases).
